[edit] Title Sequence

"The show started with a parody of the Avengers Series Five title sequence"

Are you sure? At least when I was watching the show, it was a Prisoner title sequence parody.

which is series 5? and it's The Avengers if you mean John Steed & co.
  • I've got some of these on video and it's definitely The Avengers on those. Bob Mills used to throw his Steed style bowler and umbrella onto the coat stand when he came on. The external link shows the title sequence. --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 21:48, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Broadcast schedule

could someone give dates for when this ran? or a decade? -- Tarquin
  • I've updated the Wiki Entry with the TX Dates for everything. --RedboXen 14:10, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Series/Dates

According to the BBC Comedy Guide, there were 3 series and two specials, Series 3 was 11 parts and ran 6 Feb-24 Apr 1998.

However LWTs archive refer to the first two specials as "series 1", and they have series 4 down as being 12 parts and running 10 Jan-25th Apr 1999.

As its more likely LWT know what they are talking about I've used their naming system for series and dates for series 4.

Unless anyone knows better? --RedboXen 21:32, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • I've also found 13 extra episodes whos production code seems to imply they are from Series 4, but have no broadcast dates so im now wondering if Series 4 had 26 parts also?
  • The dates for Wot a Palaver look wrong; it says that it aired in 1996 and later released in 1994. I assume those two years should be the other way round but I don't want to edit it in case the dates are totally wrong...

ps. RedboX, you and your ep guides rawk.

  • the dates are correct, just the wording was wrong :) --RedboXen 13:43, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)


[edit] "Fansite"

The link that was recently added is marked as a "fansite" where actually its a site that seemingly exists mostly to sell episodes of the show, with the bulk of its content copied from Wikipedia. Is this in violation of the rules? Should Wikipedia be promoting people selling episodes of TV shows. --RedboXen 21:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair point RedboXen. I'll remove this link although I may re-add it sometime in the future depending on how the content of the site progresses (ie if the sales links are withdrawn and the content is developed.)--The globetrotter 21:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Redboxen, i've re-added the fansite as it now explicitly says it doesn't sell any copyrighted material and hosts free episode downloads which I think fans of this series will appreciate. Hope this is OK? I'm a big fan of the prog. --The globetrotter 23:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Thats fine, but theres no need to add the link to every page, just the main page for the show. --RedboXen 10:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Great, thanks for the guidance RedboXen, much appreciated --The globetrotter 19:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube Link

The YouTube link I put up here has had a couple of reverts recently. The reason given for the initial revmoval is understandable- I have not provided evidence of ownership of the copyright of these clips (which I do not have- although I have the support of Bob Mills to host them). Wiki seems clear on this, so could I request that the link isn't added again? If anyone wants to find the clips then YouTube has a search facility which will help internet users to locate them.--The globetrotter 12:16, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
